Asked by: Baroness Smith of Llanfaes (Plaid Cymru - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government when they plan to launch the "local transport alternatives" to HS2 in England.

Answered by Lord Davies of Gower - Shadow Secretary of State for Wales

The Government has made substantial progress on delivering new local transport investments, a core commitment of the Network North Command Paper. The £4.7bn Local Transport Fund and allocations by local authority was announced on 26 February 2024 and the £8.3bn uplifts for Highways Maintenance was announced on 17 November 2023, with local authorities now actively delivering on this record investment.
